Sticking my toe into the online dating waters is scary yet
admittedly exhilarating. The idea that someone just might actually
be out there that excites me and keeps me guessing makes this bit
of a very personal social experiment of sorts exciting.

I guess I'll get just get it out of the way now. Identity can be a
very important thing when dating and being up front and open about
such is equally important. I definitely identify myself as being
apart of the queer community. I have a strong feminine side and a
proud feminist of sorts. People tend to have different ideas on
just what being a feminist though. I do identify as transgendered
and have been my whole life. It is a part of me that I would never
change. My day to day life is spent in guy mode though. I come off
as the mild mannered Clark Kent but the reality is much more a Lois
Lane! Ideally I'd love to find someone that was accepting of me
being me. The dating world is tough and for some of us it is even
tougher.

Romantically my preferences lean towards women. I labelled myself
as "bisexual" because sexually speaking I do consider myself as
such. Emotionally however I gravitate towards women. I enjoy the
company of women and share much more in common with women.
Throughout my life it has always been as such.

I can be a bit of a puzzle and can keep you guessing. I would say I
have a quirky dry sense of humor and love to laugh and make others
laugh. I consider myself to be intelligent but in the same breath
I'll be the first to tell you that there is so much I don't know. I
love to learn and love being around people that both make me think
and educate me on things I might not have ever thought of. I am
ever evolving. I believe change is one of the most important things
a person can embrace throughout their whole life. This is something
that I find very attractive in a partner. I love a good
conversation and have an adept ear to listen.

That is a brief attempt at a self summary. Probably much more then
I really wanted to write but it is definitely far short of who I
really am. If you feel like you want to know more it is pretty
simple...

Books on art, fashion, history, society, music, gender identity,
sexuality and whatever subject fascinates me. If you have any
suggestions on something I should read let me know!

Love to try new food. I generally like it hot and spicy! Thai,
Indian, Burmese and Mexican are amongst my personal
favorites.

Musical tastes are a bit eclectic. I can go from listening to Indie
bands to 70's Soul. From there i could put 40's Jazz and hop over
to 80's punk. One thing for sure... I am well versed in music and
bring a lot to the table musically.

My taste in movies seems to follow the lines of being eclectic as
well. I can go from watching a documentary on something like Global
warming to watching a goofy romance comedy. A great Sci-Fi flick
always works as well.

It is really difficult expressing myself in such a way as I would
prefer in this section. Part of me wants to list a bunch of movies,
bands and books that I am passionate about but the other side that
won out thinks it just might be too much for someone to have to
read through. Plus I think it makes for good conversation another
time.

Keeping my options open. As long as it's fun and spent with people
I enjoy being around then I am up for it. I'm a bit of a foodie so
if it involves trying some new dive restaurant that serves great
food that is a bonus. If my Friday night involves going to see a
band, going to the movies, hanging out at a good bar, going out of
town or simply staying at home watching Netflix I'm content.
